This is a hands-on delivery role that involves managing technical projects from early development through to implementation, working closely with cross-functional teams in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

About the Role

As Senior Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of multiple concurrent projects, guiding them from concept to completion. You’ll coordinate cross-disciplinary teams, maintain oversight of budgets and timelines, and ensure effective communication across stakeholders. This role also offers the opportunity to shape project delivery practices and mentor junior team members within an expanding and ambitious company.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage complex engineering projects through structured development stages
• Coordinate activities across mechanical, electrical, and software teams
• Track and manage project schedules, budgets, risks, and resources
• Communicate progress clearly to stakeholders at all levels
• Maintain key project documentation, including risk registers and schedules
• Promote continuous improvement and lean project delivery principles
• Support and mentor junior project managers

What We’re Looking For

• Proven track record managing technical projects in an engineering environment (e.g. hydrogen, fuel cells, chemical/process engineering)
• Strong understanding of structured product development processes
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Adaptable, detail-oriented, and highly organised
• Proficiency in Microsoft Project or equivalent project management software

Qualifications

• Degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent technical background
• Project management certification (e.g. APM PMQ, PMBP, PRINCE II) preferred

If you’re ready to take the lead on technically challenging projects in a purpose-driven organisation, we encourage you to apply.
